The Baseus Bowie MA10 are good too, and are currently on sale. You would need to EQ the treble up a bit, as they are VERY dark out of the box, as I would also assume for your cheaper models. Their charging base gets you 140 HOURS, with 8 hours on the earbuds! The included "wings" really help keep them in your ears too. You just twist them behind the notch above the ear canal.
Just wanted to say you are a terrific reviewer, Kenneth. Warm and to the point and well informed! I got the Space Travel TWSs and although they are a little glitchy, they are fantastic for their price point. The future of earbuds, wired and wireless will be so amazing!😊 I really appreciate that you cover all the price points here as I am a budget fan but there are lots looking for top tier too. Just an excellent and comprehensive coverage of the best options out there. Thank you!
Hey Kenneth! I found your channel when examining the Moondrop Space Travels. So thankful for your information! Keep it up! BTW, I ordered one and it should arrive soon. Can't wait to try it out!
I have the Soundscore 4NC and they are really impressive. I even liked them better than the normal 4's with dual drivers. The only downside is that they tend to fall out of your ears if you wear them for a long time. I can only recommend the EarFun free pro 2 (63 Euro's)which have wingtips. They sit securely, sound incredibly good, are clear and have a rich bass. In terms of price-performance ratio, they are the best inears I know.
I do think the Liberty 4 NC sounds the best out of all soundcores too! Interesting how you have a problem like that, I would suggest the Superfine as well since they generally fit better
@@namedkenn Please could you make a video about brands who have earbuds with very loud system voices or when the literally lock button for example. 1 touch on the left is to change ANC mode OFF or ON and cannot be change . I'm thinking about soundpeats voice and tozo voices. 2 earbuds that I had to return because accidental touch trigger that very loud voice that ruin your 30 mins of relaxation. I'm sure there are thousands of people like me who find these some voice unbearable to the point to send back the products regardless of how good the product is because THE VOICE IS ANOYING and impossible to disable one touch . That would be great if you can do 1 video telling us what company force us this horrible voice by having the touch control lock... The Worst exemple for me is tozo NC7 😳
@@moslouispham Liar I own EarFun Air Pro 3.And wow it sounds great sound quality,design,ANC,transparency mode and dual connectivity for only 50 dollar only
Hello, I’m really confused about which earbud to choose because there are so many manufacturers and models available. I listen to metal music, and I prefer earbuds with good bass, as I don’t like a flat sound. What I prioritize are good sound quality, ergonomic design and battery life, with noise cancellation and other features coming second. I am using an iPhone. I’m considering the following options: ‘Soundpeats Air 4 Pro (€60),’ ‘Soundpeats Life (€24),’ ‘Soundpeats Capsule 3 Pro (€60),’ ‘QCY HT05 (€34),’ ‘Soundcore Life P3i (€45),’ ‘Soundcore Life P3 (€60),’ ‘Soundcore P20i (€21),’ ‘Moondrop Space Travel (€30),’ and ‘Soundcore Liberty 4 NC (€80),’ which is slightly above my budget. However, if it significantly outperforms the other models, I’ll consider buying it. Can someone recommend an even better model? I really like your detailed reviews!
im using soundpeats engine 4 now , omg ,the detail . its sooo good . but also worth mentioning that if you decide to use multipoint you cant get LDAC support but other than that its very good.
Great video! I personally would give an honorable mention to the Soundcore A20i buds. I have those as well as the similarly-priced Soundpeats Free2 Classic, and I prefer the fit and sound of the A20i's. Also Soundcore gives you app control. Thanks again!
I'm so glad to hear that! I tried to make it concise this time around, really short and sweet and link the full reviews in the description 😁 most of the earbuds here would be a nice upgrade to your Earfun!
Two things: 1. For the under-$100 range you can add the soundcore vr p10 for those who wants gaming earbuds and lowest latency possible 2. Can you review the Gravastar sirius p5 someday? Is a half in ear earbuds that are quite curious about the latency and the battery time is interesting as well (8 hours in earbuds and up to 35-40h with case) Thanks.
Would've loved to see more love shown to the wind 🍃 noise reduction category but love your reviews man! Way better delivered than a lot of the other so called top TH-camrs out there.
Thank you so much man! I’ll try to get into those as a future topic, but to be honest since most earbuds can’t handle the wind, it’ll take really the best of the best out there
Im still using your recommended earbuds starting from redmi airdots s, baseus wm01 and soundpeats free2 classic and i want to say thank you for the reviews that you've made ❤
Really loved the airdots s I would happily get a replacement or something similar(the latency for gaming was insane) but it's hard to find the airdots s now.
@@timioyetade1105why dont you consider redmi airdots 2s or redmi buds 3 lite. For casual listening without breaking the bank ill recommend baseus wm01 or wm02.
Hi Kenneth, thanks for the great review A lot of reviewers (including you) choose Liberty 4 Nc as best overall under 100$. I can get them for 55. I want just your opinion which one is better (comparing to engine 4) in just sound quality segment, considering i listen to celtic/irish music (a lot of instruments, mix of highs and lows, detailed sound ..)
Great video thanks, just one thing to keep in mind, i see no reviewer is talking about is durability, i had 3 sets of sennhaiser MTW 3s, first set was making very high pitch noise that actually hurt, second set 1 earbud stopped working completly while the touch still working, im on 3rd set now which seems to be okay but battery life all of sudden after 3 months of use went down from 6-7h playback to barely 4h, i also have Sonys WH1004s and they are good, no issues what so ever with them. I love sennhaiser sound but i think i will stick to other brands propably. I also had MTWs 1st ones and they were good, a lot of problems aswell too, most of them solved by software updates, got them replaced by sennhaiser after almost 2 years just before the warranty was gone.
I haven't had much problem with my earbuds over the years, but that was quite a severe QC problem with the Sennheiser, which is very unfortunate. The problem with durability is no one can say for sure what will happen because we may get a good unit but for that 1 out of a few is a defect, although having said that generally a good pair could really last a long while, and I actually talked about it here th-cam.com/video/IKPJWzgQFqw/w-d-xo.html
I am on my 2nd pair of MTW 3s and they are also down for the crapper. The same issue where the right side of the buds are just not charging anymore. Tried cleaning the buds and even the charger but to no avail. So have to wait till 20th November to get yet another replacement. Sweet lord.Hopefully 3rd time's the charm? But the sound quality on the MTW 3s are just really really good
@@F0bR0ckz Had that issue, turned out to be the rubber parts of earbud that goes into canal being misplaced, pushing it in with earbuds connectors and case clean always solved the issue. It was also happening on my MTW 1s
Love the sound of MTW 3 but durability has been awful compared to even the cheaper CX true wireless. I used both for work at UPS and the CX have been amazing and had no issues even now but the MTW 3 left earbud has lower volume after 1-2h of playtime and ANC can begin to "screech" in my ear and then fritz randomly. MTW 3 sound is amazing but man is it disappointing to see sennheiser struggle with durability.
Great review, love the Sennheiser 1s and 3's, but be aware the Sennheiser 3s will eventually have problems. My left earbud stopped working after 6 months and no real support after Sennheiser was purchased. It's a shame, really love the sound of these.
Im using Soundcore Liberty 4 NC rn. I tried Free2classic, Mini Pro HS, and Engine 4 before. I'd say I prefer the MiniPro HS over the Engine 4, sure the sound quality is better in Engine 4 (not very far gap) but in overall comfort + ANC, Mini Pro HS just win. Too bad it's not on the list
I never got to try the Mini Pro HS (which is very unfortunate), I'm being very careful because the Mini Pro is really far from what you call good sound quality, and by default the Engine4 isn't really all that impressive until you start making custom EQs too Still tho I'm very curious cause it got a lot of good words around it, I reckon it'll be a great pick anyway!
For edifier w240, i have been using close to 2 years. One thing never mentioned by youtubers is their ability to handle high interference zones. So far ive used plenty of more budget options which often have some sort of audio dropout in high interference areas e.g. at train stations, rf machinery, etc. And also its ability to sense that it has been put in the case is very consistent. Ive used soundcore in the past as well as earfun, they both need some fiddling to get them to seat properly and attach to their charging pins. Sometimes theyre misaligned slightly and my phone continues to play audio through the earpiece. Extremely fucking annoying especially after a long day of travel, i get home, put them in the case and start watching some videos and i need to fiddle with the case again because it still thinks its active. Sometimes they connect on their own when the case is shook, also annoying when im just home playing on loudspeaker and i have to look for the case to realign the earpiece. But for the w240tn it has been overall the best usability. Least amount of fiddling, re-pairing, and glitches.
Here I am tonight, just found out that I placed my WM02 inside the pocket of my shorts earlier this morning and washed it in the washing machine. Sadly the left earpiece is already dead after finding that out. 😭
I just bought the engine4, and I like them very much. I wished you mentioned the difference in sound qualities between price points. It's important to know because I could have bought a much expensive earbuds, but I thought it was not justified because they would not sound better.
I would recommend watching the full review for more sound quality comparisons, although at this point the Engine4 already sounds as good as the Oppo Enco X2 which is twice the price and equipped with planar drivers
The engine 4 sounds, to most, better than nearly anything under 200$ retail. Most of his viewers aren't buying tws earbuds over 200$ unless they are apple fans buying pro2s or xm5s. I would argue the xm5 doesn't sound all that great compared to the engine 4, though it's anc and other features make it an awesome bud. That's how it goes for most of the more expensive buds. You are paying for anc power, build quality, and brand/ecosystem as you go over 100$.
you should do some mic categories, for me it's one of the thing I look up the most for an earbud. Do you have any recommendations for best mic earbuds like under 30$?
Thank you for this video and your work, Kenneth. You must be much more knowledgeable than I am in this area. Can you therefore share your opinion based on what you experienced or have read from the sources you trust? I am very much interested in getting audiophile grade IEMs that also comfortable to wear for long time. So, I was thinking about Shure SE846 PRO Gen 2 (seems very versatile with all the extras you can get for them) or Sennheiser IE 600 or IE 900. Can you suggest anything else along these lines? I would greatly appreciate your advice, and I am sure many people who watch your videos would too.
So glad to have you here! Of course I am fully aware of your product lineup and I would really love to put them to the test 🔥 Let me know how we can connect and I'm 1000% sure everyone will be excited for this collab (absolutely myself included) 😁
Hi, like to know the volume of Soundpeats Engine 4. How loud can it gets? Is it comparable to Fiil T1 Lite? I think T1 Lite is one of the best, am trying to get a new t1 Lite but so sad it had gone out of production. Cheap and good, lasted a good 3 yrs until it goes to sleep forever. Thanks!
You should also make recommendations for IEMS. maybe for people who don't prefer Wireless earbuds. (just because you gotta charge them overnight and you gotta replace them once the batteries finally degrade)
I’m looking to get the google pixel buds pro, Sony wf-c700n, skullycandy rail, Bose quiet comfort ultra and maybe a Jvc brand. Some to switch up for the gym and for playing the drums along with listening to the songs
The TruEngine 3SE is better than Free2 Classic but it's also more expensive right? Though if you prefer a smaller build the Free2 Classic is always a great pick
nice recommendations. i bought soundpeats air 3 pro coz of you, and now i am going to buy the engine 4. i have question though: why does the EQ always come back to preset everytime i use the air 3 pro? i set up the EQ according to your recommendation but it always comes back to original preset EQ each time i use it
I ordered the Liberty 4 NC during the October Prime deals but returned them. I couldn't get a good fit in my ears and the eartips kept coming off in my ears when I removed them. The connection points are so shallow that it is really difficult to get the eartips back on after removal. Sound quality was good but I prefer the Liberty 3 Pros that I purchased last year. Perhaps a better fit would have made a difference.
Dah beli kemarin moondrop spacetravel, mantep abis secara tonal sama fitur gw suka semua. Oh ya bang mau tanya sekalian, moondrop spacetracel sudah ipx berapa ?
Mantap deh, buat earbuds Moondrop ini biasa mereka enggak ada IP rating, tapi dari pengalaman sejauh ini enggak pernah denger orang komplain jadi asal enggak dibawa hujan/mandi, keringet itu masih aman2 aja
Got the exact video for you! Although it's not as much recommended in youtube that's probably why you didn't see it th-cam.com/video/rftgiuA7WbY/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much! And I guess with the lenovos you get what you paid for, but I still recommend the baseus more, but you can check out my impressions of it here th-cam.com/video/SzNocr7QfnY/w-d-xo.html
@kenneth tanaka whats your thought on better sound quallity liberty 4nc vs soundpeats engine 4 ? I read thry soundpeats worth only if you play then with ldac else to not buy them ? Your thoughts? I dont care for nc at all
Nice video, just bought the Soundcore L4NC and I'm not quite happy with the standard eartips. I want to replace them but I nocticed that the shape of the nozzle is kind of special ? So I wonder if any eartips that fits the L4NC
I like the skullcandy Rail ANC version so far they are the best earbuds ive found so far that even my cheaper buds or more expensive pairs seem underwhelming
Also, would the Soundcore A20i or Soundcore R50i be a competitor for Bowie WM02 for $15? Cause this up coming holiday sale with the discounts in Lazada they're like 3 pairs for 24$, keep one gift the two others to family or friends.
Thank you for the great review. For me airpod pro2 for the fuctionality, transparancy and anc. bose qc 2 for the sound and anc. Since i love to use my earbuds while laydown on my bed, size is very important. So jabra elite 7 pro wins for bed time listening because of the small size, decent anc and sound. Why no one review earbuds while laying down? I thing is important. Hahahaha... cheers
Does the Bowie WW02 have a delay? Example like but not limited to games, when shooting a gun on fps games, when you shoot theres a bit of delay when the sound registers on the earbuds its not an extreme delay but really noticeable compared to a wired one. I have an earpuds cost around 5-8$ and it has this problem.
Dear Ken help me please. My ears can't stand in ear buds (that silicone tips start to be painful to me after 15 minutes...). I'm considering (within my budget): Galaxy buds live, Huawei freebuds 3, Soundpeats trueair 2 and Soundpeats air4. Any better recommendations up to 80 €? All I need is some earbuds which will work reliably, will not penetrate my ear, have very good quality, Koss ksc75 is my benchmark (well some spatial audio would be nice for watching movies). I do not need any fancy stuff for playing games, noise cancellation stuff etc....
Hello sir, can u make a review for Lenovo LP40 Pro? Coz it's just around 8$ correct me if I'm wrong. I just wanna have a TWS earbuds for casual use only specifically for calls and Music. Thank you in advance!
Hey Thanks for the videos, they help me a lot 😊 For some reason, in the specifications of TWS Earbuds, it is almost never mentioned whether there is multipoint and it is quite difficult to find such earbuds Maybe do a review of the best multipoint earbuds?
Yeah to be honest a lot of things are going on in these earbuds nowadays it’s hard to keep track which one has what, having said that you can definitely consider the Engine4 and Liberty4 NC here, they do support it and they’re an excellent performer nonetheless! Also if you prefer half in-ears, my best pick there also supports multipoint th-cam.com/video/rftgiuA7WbY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=R4wRkeYs7VXnJuO1 I always highlight multipoint capability in my takes (because they’re so darn useful) but maybe if I have enough recommendations I’ll make a dedicated video for it in the future!

The problem with durability is no one can say for sure what will happen because we may get a good unit but for that 1 out of a few is a defect, although having said that generally a good pair could really last a long while, and I actually talked about it here th-cam.com/video/IKPJWzgQFqw/w-d-xo.html
I am on my 2nd pair of MTW 3s and they are also down for the crapper. The same issue where the right side of the buds are just not charging anymore. Tried cleaning the buds and even the charger but to no avail. So have to wait till 20th November to get yet another replacement. Sweet lord.Hopefully 3rd time's the charm?
But the sound quality on the MTW 3s are just really really good
@@F0bR0ckz Had that issue, turned out to be the rubber parts of earbud that goes into canal being misplaced, pushing it in with earbuds connectors and case clean always solved the issue. It was also happening on my MTW 1s
Love the sound of MTW 3 but durability has been awful compared to even the cheaper CX true wireless. I used both for work at UPS and the CX have been amazing and had no issues even now but the MTW 3 left earbud has lower volume after 1-2h of playtime and ANC can begin to "screech" in my ear and then fritz randomly. MTW 3 sound is amazing but man is it disappointing to see sennheiser struggle with durability.
Engine4 has been great for me for under $60
It has satisfied me in every way
Thanks for this. Lost my old pair of tws, got new ones based on your recommendation. 👍
I found your channel and it absolute blast mate, cheers!
Great review, love the Sennheiser 1s and 3's, but be aware the Sennheiser 3s will eventually have problems. My left earbud stopped working after 6 months and no real support after Sennheiser was purchased. It's a shame, really love the sound of these.
Im using Soundcore Liberty 4 NC rn. I tried Free2classic, Mini Pro HS, and Engine 4 before. I'd say I prefer the MiniPro HS over the Engine 4, sure the sound quality is better in Engine 4 (not very far gap) but in overall comfort + ANC, Mini Pro HS just win. Too bad it's not on the list
I never got to try the Mini Pro HS (which is very unfortunate), I'm being very careful because the Mini Pro is really far from what you call good sound quality, and by default the Engine4 isn't really all that impressive until you start making custom EQs too
Still tho I'm very curious cause it got a lot of good words around it, I reckon it'll be a great pick anyway!
For edifier w240, i have been using close to 2 years. One thing never mentioned by youtubers is their ability to handle high interference zones. So far ive used plenty of more budget options which often have some sort of audio dropout in high interference areas e.g. at train stations, rf machinery, etc. And also its ability to sense that it has been put in the case is very consistent. Ive used soundcore in the past as well as earfun, they both need some fiddling to get them to seat properly and attach to their charging pins. Sometimes theyre misaligned slightly and my phone continues to play audio through the earpiece. Extremely fucking annoying especially after a long day of travel, i get home, put them in the case and start watching some videos and i need to fiddle with the case again because it still thinks its active. Sometimes they connect on their own when the case is shook, also annoying when im just home playing on loudspeaker and i have to look for the case to realign the earpiece. But for the w240tn it has been overall the best usability. Least amount of fiddling, re-pairing, and glitches.
Hello Mr. Ken, hopefully this comment found you well. If i may ask, do the sound quality of Moodrop Space Travel can be compare with the Liberty 4NC?
What do you think of the CMF Buds Pro? And comparing with the Soundpeats Engine 4, which one is better?
Here I am tonight, just found out that I placed my WM02 inside the pocket of my shorts earlier this morning and washed it in the washing machine. Sadly the left earpiece is already dead after finding that out. 😭
I just bought the engine4, and I like them very much. I wished you mentioned the difference in sound qualities between price points. It's important to know because I could have bought a much expensive earbuds, but I thought it was not justified because they would not sound better.
I would recommend watching the full review for more sound quality comparisons, although at this point the Engine4 already sounds as good as the Oppo Enco X2 which is twice the price and equipped with planar drivers
The EQ mode,,,is it saved into tws program?
So it doesn't need re-eq even tho you conect it to another smartphone
The engine 4 sounds, to most, better than nearly anything under 200$ retail. Most of his viewers aren't buying tws earbuds over 200$ unless they are apple fans buying pro2s or xm5s. I would argue the xm5 doesn't sound all that great compared to the engine 4, though it's anc and other features make it an awesome bud. That's how it goes for most of the more expensive buds. You are paying for anc power, build quality, and brand/ecosystem as you go over 100$.
you should do some mic categories, for me it's one of the thing I look up the most for an earbud. Do you have any recommendations for best mic earbuds like under 30$?
Thank you for this video and your work, Kenneth. You must be much more knowledgeable than I am in this area. Can you therefore share your opinion based on what you experienced or have read from the sources you trust? I am very much interested in getting audiophile grade IEMs that also comfortable to wear for long time. So, I was thinking about Shure SE846 PRO Gen 2 (seems very versatile with all the extras you can get for them) or Sennheiser IE 600 or IE 900. Can you suggest anything else along these lines? I would greatly appreciate your advice, and I am sure many people who watch your videos would too.
Can I ask what's the best TWS Earbuds for running? I'm on a tight budget so my budget would be around 1-2k at maxed. Thanks in advance sir Kenneth!
dont forget, next month, Sennheiser Momentum 4 True Wireless. Looking forward it, also dont forget to compare it with Sennheiser MTW 3 😊
Almost 100k! Let's get past that! Nicely done! 😊
Thank you so very much! I'm really glad to have your support since way back 🙌🏻
Looking forward to the '24 list *cough* MTW4 *cough* MOMENTUM Sport *cough* ACCENTUM True Wireless
So glad to have you here! Of course I am fully aware of your product lineup and I would really love to put them to the test 🔥
Let me know how we can connect and I'm 1000% sure everyone will be excited for this collab (absolutely myself included) 😁
soundcore looks good, engine 4 as well, i mainly just want them for work, opera doesnt seems for sale on amazon
Hi, like to know the volume of Soundpeats Engine 4. How loud can it gets? Is it comparable to Fiil T1 Lite? I think T1 Lite is one of the best, am trying to get a new t1 Lite but so sad it had gone out of production. Cheap and good, lasted a good 3 yrs until it goes to sleep forever. Thanks!
You should also make recommendations for IEMS.
maybe for people who don't prefer Wireless earbuds.
(just because you gotta charge them overnight and you gotta replace them once the batteries finally degrade)
enak banget pembawaan reviewnya koh, kenapa gue baru nemu ni channel skrg ckck. definitely subscribed, keep it up! 🔥
Glad to have you here! Semoga video2 kedepannya memenuhi ekspektasi ya haha
Hi ken. Have you tried soundcore dot 3i? Compared to those under $60 alternatives. Which one you recommend the most?
JUST IN TIME! THANKS!
Enjoy! 😉
Hello Sir. Tanaka, may i ask about budget friendly and good in zoom meetings in this year 2024. Anc? or not? thanks. very appreciate your effort.
I’m looking to get the google pixel buds pro, Sony wf-c700n, skullycandy rail, Bose quiet comfort ultra and maybe a Jvc brand. Some to switch up for the gym and for playing the drums along with listening to the songs
Hey i got a question, should i buy moondrop space travel or kz carol?
Hai, I need some advice which I should go for. Space travel or soundpeat free2? Thanks in advance.
Aww. I was waiting for your video for recommendations this 2023. I just bought a Haylou W1 based on your reviews. It sounded so good. Thank you 💙
Hope you enjoy it! Actually if your budget allows let me recommend you the Moondrop Space Travel this holiday season, you'll love it as well 😁
Free2 classic or engine3se? And why? Thanks for answering
The TruEngine 3SE is better than Free2 Classic but it's also more expensive right? Though if you prefer a smaller build the Free2 Classic is always a great pick
@@namedkenn thank you i will buy free2 classic . And may be upgrade to engine4 next year 😘.
Can u do review on the new Baseus Bowie MA10?
What about the JLab Air Pop or Tozo T1? Every list seems to give different recommendations.
Should i go for moondrop ST or engine 4? I already have free 2 classic. I also like to hear bunch of lofi and classical music
Soundcore liberty 4 nc vs fill cc pro 2 , which do you recommend? I can get both for same price..
nice recommendations. i bought soundpeats air 3 pro coz of you, and now i am going to buy the engine 4. i have question though: why does the EQ always come back to preset everytime i use the air 3 pro? i set up the EQ according to your recommendation but it always comes back to original preset EQ each time i use it
Had my Haylou W1 for some time and love them, but getting pretty worn out, how is Space Travel compared to W1?
Nice review Kenneth Tanaka. Have you reviewed the Samsung Galaxy Buds FE??
Hello man thanks for watching! Haven't tried it yet but very insterested for sure
can you do a video about using 3rd party equalizer app to improve tws sound quality esp on the cheaper end?
I ordered the Liberty 4 NC during the October Prime deals but returned them. I couldn't get a good fit in my ears and the eartips kept coming off in my ears when I removed them. The connection points are so shallow that it is really difficult to get the eartips back on after removal. Sound quality was good but I prefer the Liberty 3 Pros that I purchased last year. Perhaps a better fit would have made a difference.
please make a video for Gaming TWS with latency and Spacial sound quality test for Mobile, Switch, Steamdeck etc.
please review the Philips Fidelio T1's they are 85 dollars and are the best earbuds i have ever used!
Dah beli kemarin moondrop spacetravel, mantep abis secara tonal sama fitur gw suka semua.
Oh ya bang mau tanya sekalian, moondrop spacetracel sudah ipx berapa ?
Mantap deh, buat earbuds Moondrop ini biasa mereka enggak ada IP rating, tapi dari pengalaman sejauh ini enggak pernah denger orang komplain jadi asal enggak dibawa hujan/mandi, keringet itu masih aman2 aja
@@namedkenn ok bang
Between the liberty 4 nc and the redmi bud 5 pro which is better considering mic quality, ANC and battery life on buds
It's a great review, very complete! Have you ever done a review of the best tws earbuds without rubber, they really bother me. Thanks
Got the exact video for you! Although it's not as much recommended in youtube that's probably why you didn't see it th-cam.com/video/rftgiuA7WbY/w-d-xo.html
Pls do make a review of the best budget earbuds for calling
For sure in the coming weeks!
What should I get soundpeats air 4 or the Edifier NB2 Pro ?
The soundcore space a40 is ok. It's battery life isn't as good as others. I use my in normal mode and they only last 6 hours
Which one of these earbuds under 60 or the ones in the 15 dollar price range is better then the soundcore life dot 3i?
hey i just subscribed. i just wanna ask about your honest opinion about Lenovo LP40 pro? are they good overall? thanks!
Thank you so much! And I guess with the lenovos you get what you paid for, but I still recommend the baseus more, but you can check out my impressions of it here th-cam.com/video/SzNocr7QfnY/w-d-xo.html
I'm currently using Soundcore L4NC, can you suggest suitable eartips?
@kenneth tanaka whats your thought on better sound quallity liberty 4nc vs soundpeats engine 4 ? I read thry soundpeats worth only if you play then with ldac else to not buy them ? Your thoughts? I dont care for nc at all
What do you think about Huawei earphones? Thanks
Hi is your space travel have low volume issue? Mine need 80% for it to be enjoyable
Jabra elite 10 is much much better than senheiser m3 and sony xm5. In comfort and sound quality. Anc is also top notch. And good enough. Must buy.
Nice video, just bought the Soundcore L4NC and I'm not quite happy with the standard eartips. I want to replace them but I nocticed that the shape of the nozzle is kind of special ? So I wonder if any eartips that fits the L4NC
Were you able to find eartips for them?
@@sadie513 Yes, I'm now using Spinfit CP1025 with CPA2 adapter and I'm happy with it
Wondering the comaprison of opera 5 and liberty 4 nc
I like the skullcandy Rail ANC version so far they are the best earbuds ive found so far that even my cheaper buds or more expensive pairs seem underwhelming
Hi, since both of them are similar in price which one would you recommend the Soundcore 4NC or Samsung Buds Live? thanks
I hope you can review the soundpeats mini pro hs too 😊
really looking forward to your 2024 round up
Haha please look forward! Lots of new things this time around which I honestly didn’t imagine would happen 😁
@@namedkennawesome! since most your content is on budget audiophile content, would you do a round up for headphones too?
Yow Kenneth have you tried the Nothing Ear 2?
Soundpeats mini hs please and make a comparison with og mini, free2 classic, engine4 etc. tia...
Also, would the Soundcore A20i or Soundcore R50i be a competitor for Bowie WM02 for $15? Cause this up coming holiday sale with the discounts in Lazada they're like 3 pairs for 24$, keep one gift the two others to family or friends.
Thank you for the great review.
For me airpod pro2 for the fuctionality, transparancy and anc. bose qc 2 for the sound and anc. Since i love to use my earbuds while laydown on my bed, size is very important. So jabra elite 7 pro wins for bed time listening because of the small size, decent anc and sound.
Why no one review earbuds while laying down? I thing is important. Hahahaha... cheers
I want to buy the space travel, but everyone says i should buy soundpeats engine 4 instead. Can you help me pick between this two
Thanks man, this makes picking way easier
No problem!
Does the Bowie WW02 have a delay? Example like but not limited to games, when shooting a gun on fps games, when you shoot theres a bit of delay when the sound registers on the earbuds its not an extreme delay but really noticeable compared to a wired one. I have an earpuds cost around 5-8$ and it has this problem.
Kenneth can you do a comparison vs same price level with A4tech b25 earbuds.
Which earbuds has the best mic ?
Did you find out if the 4nc supports third party tips?
Dear Ken help me please. My ears can't stand in ear buds (that silicone tips start to be painful to me after 15 minutes...). I'm considering (within my budget): Galaxy buds live, Huawei freebuds 3, Soundpeats trueair 2 and Soundpeats air4. Any better recommendations up to 80 €?
All I need is some earbuds which will work reliably, will not penetrate my ear, have very good quality, Koss ksc75 is my benchmark (well some spatial audio would be nice for watching movies). I do not need any fancy stuff for playing games, noise cancellation stuff etc....
Got Soundcore liberty 4NC in 50 dollars from Amazon lndia....Samsung galaxy buds2 pro in 60 dollars...in Great lndian Sale...love from lndia.
Holy moly! That's a great deal hope you enjoy it!
Hello Kenneth, will you be reviewing the Soundpeats Air 4 pro?
Haven't got any units to review unfortunately, I'll see what I can do!
Soundcore r50i sounds surprisingly good for a really cheap price.
can't wait for half in ear video too ♥
How about the JLab GO Air Pop they seem pretty decent for the money
youre so close to 100 k !
Hello sir, can u make a review for Lenovo LP40 Pro? Coz it's just around 8$ correct me if I'm wrong. I just wanna have a TWS earbuds for casual use only specifically for calls and Music. Thank you in advance!
Hey
Thanks for the videos, they help me a lot 😊
For some reason, in the specifications of TWS Earbuds, it is almost never mentioned whether there is multipoint and it is quite difficult to find such earbuds
Maybe do a review of the best multipoint earbuds?
Yeah to be honest a lot of things are going on in these earbuds nowadays it’s hard to keep track which one has what, having said that you can definitely consider the Engine4 and Liberty4 NC here, they do support it and they’re an excellent performer nonetheless!
Also if you prefer half in-ears, my best pick there also supports multipoint th-cam.com/video/rftgiuA7WbY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=R4wRkeYs7VXnJuO1
I always highlight multipoint capability in my takes (because they’re so darn useful) but maybe if I have enough recommendations I’ll make a dedicated video for it in the future!
